Historical Data :

Before the application of NS Series Super SPO, prawns under culture suffered from brown gills and inflamed carapace. Water column was very turbid resulting in the accumulation of excess decaying of algae or lablab. .Even with the use of vacuum pumping during land preparation prior to stocking, deterioration of the pond bottom was not arrested.

Observation :

Lablab growth stabilized

Water quality parameters improved

Appetite of the prawns improved. Feed monitoring improved from 2 hours (without bioaugmentation) to 1 hour. And subsequent improvement of FCR from 1.5 to 1.3.

No plankton collapse despite heavy rains and no D.O. problems and surfacing of prawns unlike other ponds which untreated and were subsequently aborted due to D.O. stratification and algal die-off and collapse which followed.

Previous survival rates without bioaugmentation was a high of 80%. With the treatment of NS Super SPO, survival at harvest was 95%.

Previous weekly ABW was 3 grams a week. With the use of the product, ABW was monitored at 4 to 5 grams increase every week

Pond bottom sludge after harvest decreased by 70% with no noticeable odor after harvest.
